On a List of What We Don't Need.

A lot of the communication around the BlogOSR has been terrible of late and this is because of several things.


Someone has forgotten that

CENSORSHIP IS BAD.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people - anyone read 1984? or like 100 other books? censorship of any kind is bad. I didn't think this was nearly the complicated issue that it appears to be.

In short, I think the problem is that American society is both founded on puritan principles and is an unsustainable anomaly in the history of man - 5% of the worlds population can't keep using all the worlds resources without it at some point turning into oppression.

Also, Dungeon Crawl Classics, the RPG is the single greatest RPG of all time - only it happens to do about 1000 things almost right. Lots of correctable issues.

There's a longer post in that - but I want to finish the beta games with my two groups before I comment. I'm also collecting the comments of my players.


Also: and I'm just throwing this out here. But a half page on NPC stats and skills is never useful. Should I stop the role play to look that up?

There you go. Three things we don't need - Censorship, non-corrected issues in DCC RPG, and pages of NPC data without info about personality or character
